Kyo Kusanagi
Another Iori, Sho

Kyo Kusanagi | 94 | 95 | 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 | 00 | 01 |
Arguably the greatest fighter to ever compete in the King of Fighters tournament, Kyo is the latest descendant of the legendary Kusanagi clan who, alongside the Yagami clan, seal away the Orochi power 1800 years ago. Afterwards, the Yagami struck an unholy pact with the Orochi and now wage a mortal war with the Kusanagi. Kyo doesn't want to kill Iori Yagami, but seems to have little choice. (read bio)

Iori Yagami | 95 | 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 | 00 | 01 |
Iori is the latest descendant of the Yagami clan, a cursed bloodline which has been condemned to living a short lifespan due to the Orochi blood flowing through their veins. He is a single, self-absorbed person who cares about nobody but himself and can't stand to be bossed around! His only goal in life is to defeat Kyo and, if anybody should oppose him, will dispose them down like the trash they are! (read bio)

Story Progression | 00 |

Invasion of Kula
Diana All systems go. Kula, you may begin. Smash Zero's plans.

Defeat of Kula
Operator System restored.
Ling What was the cause?
Operator System appears to have been hacked. Only the image bank is intact.
Ling So... that's the Anti-K'.
Operator Huh...?
Ling Nothing... just mumbling.

First Intermission
The Finals Team. Southtown Factory Area. Target: K', Southtown.
Heidern They're too far from the target. Things aren't going as they were planned.
Ling It's no big deal.
Heidern What do you mean, Ling?
Ling I mean, I've forseen this.
Heidern Forseen what? What're you babbling about?
Ling Guide the Finals Team to the lift, will you? When you've done that, activate the generator.
Heidern Lift? Generator? No one told me about this!

Ling I'm in charge here, you've no need to know. When the generator's charged and "Zero Cannon" is in the sky, my mission will be realized.
Heidern Did you say... Zero Cannon...!? A space-based weapon... Whatever for!? The purpose of holding KOF was to capture K' and Maxima and search NESTS' base!
Ling Yes, officially...
Heidern Officially? ...! What foul plan is festering in your diseased mind?
Ling As far as Project '00 Goes, you're nothing but an observer. While I... I am its executioner!

Second Intermission
Player It can't very well...
Player ...end all here. But... I thought so...
Ling It's the beginning of an unforgettable event.
Player The ceiling...!?
Player How'd we get down here...?
Ling Greetings.
Player Who are you...?

Heidern State your name, villain!
Ling, Zero They call me... Zero!
Heidern Zero, eh...? It fits you.
Zero Oh, you're such a joker. You know, we've met before, that is, I've met you.
Heidern Now I know, it was you who slew Krizalid, right? What have you done with Ling?
Zero He's resting.
Heidern You impersonated him, eh?
Zero I'm a master of disguise. So, I masqueraded as Ling. Later, Ling's clone there took over. Neutralizing all of you obstacles was the fastest way to realize my plan.
Heidern So what's KoF got to do with all of this?
Zero It was my way to obtain... The Zero Cannon!
Heidern Stupid! All you had to do was rub us out.

Zero You simp! I need all of you for Zero Cannon's power.
Player All of us...?
Player What is this Zero Cannon?
Zero An aerial weapon to destroy NESTS... with all your help.
Player In your dreams!
Player Who'd help you...!?
Player You FIEND...!!
Zero You can't resist me. I'll beat you all like a drum. Then your energy will be sent to Zero Cannon.
Player How?
Zero There is a generator below. Whenever I fight someone... it siphons my foe's energy and sends it to Zero Cannon. And I'll use your power to begin the new order!
Player Use us to conquer the world?
Player So that's NESTS's aim?
Zero NESTS? A mere front. The creator of the new order is not NESTS. It's ME!
Player I'll crush you like a grape... then stop your Zero Cannon.
Zero Crush me? Stop the cannon? Give it a shot. If you DARE!!!

Defeat of Zero
Zero You lose.
Player What do you mean?
Zero When I press this button, all your energy goes to the cannon.
Player Not if I can help it!
Zero Even with my death, you haven't got a prayer. Why do you think I handed over the clone to Heidern!? Farewell, you fools! Disintegrate in the light of a brand new world! Curses! What is this...!?

Zero GOOOAAAAAH...!! ...a malfunction!? What's going on!?

Foxy Enough merriment!
Zero It's all of you...!?
Foxy You're busted! Accept it! NESTS will not be defeated by the likes of you.
Zero Humph...!

Kyo Consider that payback for the way you used us!
Zero 'Used' you? The strength of your Mushiki move... was used to power the Zero Cannon. It's the ultimate compliment!
Kyo In your sick fantasies! You conceited freak...!
Zero Chill out. I'll soon be dead. Instead of me, think... of the one who awaits you...
Kyo ...Someone awaits me?
Iori Enough prattle...
Kyo Don't you think? Here's 'Someone!' Let's rumble, dude...!
